Default HEALTH vs WEALTH(spinoff thread)

Let's see if I can paint this right....

Money is no object. You can buy what you want when you want. You've got one problem. Your HEALTH is terrible. You name it you got it. I'm talking stuff that requires daily treatment. Shots, pills, nurses etc. Great big ol house, cars, etc....trips all over the world but, you cant enjoy too much of it because of your health.

Flipside: You are the picture of HEALTH. Never been sick a day in your life. Doctor always gives you a 100% clean bill of health. You got all your teeth and never had a cavity in your life. Your problem is money. You don't have any. Yeah you work but, it's in one hand and out the other. Sometimes more hands are extended to get your money. Bills bills bills. You live in a very very meager/small house....tiny apt even.

Which do you pick? Now, I'm sorry if I didn't paint this too good. Feel free to add to it if you like. Is money more important to you than your health. Not saying you can't have both but, which is really more important to you?

Health, health, and health! Any day any way. IMO your health IS your wealth. Look at the person in the first example. What good is having money if you can't enjoy it? And as long as you have health you can always build wealth. You can always build your health with your wealth too, but it's a lot more difficult.

yes your health is more important but my health would go down anyway with me stressing if my bills aren't paid so i put both of them on top of the list as a high priority.

HEALTH!
I dont need wealth. As far as stressing over bills, whats the use? 1 of 2 things are going to happen. Either you'll find a way to pay them before shyt starts getting disconnected, or you'll just be w/o until you find a way to take care of them. Either way, you live to see another day, and possibly learn to restructure some things.

Who wants to be sickly, but sitting on a heap of money? Win the lottery today, be diagnosed with a terminal illness tomorrow...I'll pass!

As the question is asked, I would say HEALTH; however, I'm assuming the healthy person would be happier. What really matters is happiness.

But BISHOP I don't think you asked it right. Everyone is answering health, but most the folks up here do little exercise in their regular routine. Something's getting in the way... if it's not wealth, what is it?

OK, maybe that belongs in the original thread.

Uh uh. Get back in here. I get plenty of 'exercise' in my day to day activities. The problem with america is that people don't so shit all day but sit behind a desk, then they feel they have to overcompensate at the gym. And everybody you see at the gym ain't healthy either. Health is wholistic and every aspect of your life affects it. You can't eat bullshit day in and day out, drink and smoke, skimp on sleep, live in a constant state of negativity and then jump on the treadmill and call yourself healty.

I'm not going to disagree with any of that. You strike me as someone who is probably pretty healthy.
